Title: Tunable Recommendations for 5000Megx5000M Fiber Connection?
Post by: theprez1980 on February 13, 2025, 11:23:54 PM

Hi -

Fairly new to OpnSense and wanted to part ways with my Netgear and Router combo from my ISP and landed on OpnSense. I believe I have sufficient hardware:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz and 16 GB RAM with an Intel X550-T2 NIC.

Are there any specific tunables I should change or enable/disable?

I keep hearing its best to turn off random IP and the Spectre/Meltdown workarounds to improve performance but was unclear on things such as RSS and if the X550 card even supports that.

Thanks

RSS is good, and no problem with the x550 (I have a -T1 in my firewall, currently serving as my Internet link; my "7700" is newer than yours, though). I'd recommend updating the NVM if you haven't already.
